chapman three mile water

[tomahurra]

Looking for any information on the Chapman family of Three Mile Water. Martha Chapman born 1842 married Edward Smith Dunganstown 1862.Think Martha parents were John and Sarah.

[gacman55]

Martha born 17 August 1842 (don't recall, perhaps baptism date) to John and Sarah Grundy Chapman. Sarah died a few years later (15 Mar 1844) after giving birth to Martha's brother, Benjamin (6 Mar 1844). Martha's Chapman grandparents were Benjamin and Martha Richardson Chapman. Martha's brother, Benjamin, came to the U.S. and died in Minnesota in 1900. Her father remarried and had two more children. Have more information up, down, and sideways.

I don’t necessarily see a connection but I have Chapmans from Wicklow in my tree.  My gg grandfather was Benjamin Henry Chapman, born 1820 in Ballyloughlin, Wicklow.   He was the son of Joseph Charles Chapman and Sarah Hudson.  Joseph Charles Chapman was the son of James Chapman who, according to family lore, came to Ireland from Leeds.

My gg grandfarher,  B.H. Chapman, married Mary E. Pepper [b. 1819 in Avoca, Wicklow] and they emigrated to N. America in about 1844.  They settled in Wisconsin.  Later, descendants of B.H. Chapman’s half brother emigrated to the U.S. and settled in Minnesota.

Do you see any connection?

Erato thanks for taking the time to send me a message but I can't see a connection.

Please please more information.Martha is in fact my great great grandmother. If you click on little green icon on the left of this message you can send me a personal message.

I doubt any connection unless it is back in the 1700s.  My line goes to ggrandfather Benjamin R. Chapman (b. 1813)> Benjamin (d 1858, m 1811)... possibly the Benjamin baptized 19 Dec 1784, son of John and Catharine Chapman. There was a John Chapman born in Wicklow in 1741 with father Joseph Chapman, mother's name not known. There were no Josephs in my ggrandfathers brothers, just Henry and John, for what that's worth. His sisters, Martha, Catharine, and Anne. Love the naming patterns when they were followed closely unless there were simply too, too many.

I'll get enough posts. Thanks for the heads up on this posing from tomahurra to my genealogy colleague in Dublin (thanks Joyce). Martha's parents, John and Sarah Grundy Chapman were married in Killiskey Parish, Feb 15, 1840. Bestman was Benjamin Chapman and the "Matron of Honor " (perhaps just a form listing from the Wicklow Family History Centre) was George Trim. Probably these should be simply listed as witnesses.

I have had nothing on your Martha other than her birth, so I will really appreciate knowing more about her descendants, too.

gacman55 & Tomahurra I believe we have the same line we are looking to navigate. This is what I have:

Benjamin Chapman/Rachael Adair > Benjamin R. Chapman / Martha Richardson > John Chapman / Catherine

Im stuck at John Chapman / Catherine as well as Martha Richardson (b.1785). Any info would be greatly appreciated.
